I don't know tennis fans are so horrible. Maybe they get too emotionally involved, but the hatred and unwarranted attacks, are still mind-boggling.
I don't understand why a person can't like Player A or B without constantly trashing the other player, or person.
I don't give it a thought who someone else likes, in fact, I'm glad that all of the players have someone who roots for them,
Can't wrap my head around the thought that someone liking someone other than my player presents a problem.

Perfectly Lady TT... I also think the same way... but maybe I impressed myself a little more with the comments in tennis because the attacks are made directly to the player and not the team.
...Another difference I see is that many people severely attacking style of play, ranking one as tennis and the other as antitennis. And this is totally ridiculous... Just because they don't possess this power.

People are weird. I don't care who likes what. The fact that we all have different tastes is a good thing because it allows the world to have a greater variety of tastes and interests.
How horrible would it be, if because I didn't like something it was eliminated?
That's the attitude that so many people display, and they don't realize how silly it is.
It's cool if you don't like Rafa, but how is that supposed to affect me? I may not like something that you like, but I don't understand why I would have the need to tell you that.
This mindset is interesting to me, yet fascinating. I don't get it, do you?

You touched on the key point! The differences are important in everything in life... Each with their preferences, that's wonderful.
The problem is the inability of some people to accept the choices of others... This is the reason to generate disrespectful and unnecessary attacks... Just this simple reason for so much injustice and hatred in the world.
